Returning from a retreat

Sitting and exploring uncomfortable sensations of experiences in body

Rather than escaping away, or finding something to consume - if we work at the fundamental level, we touch freedom and wellbeing.

A society of addictions, safety as the highest value is limiting and flat. A response to a world where we are not truly alive so we want to live longer and safer.

Views are skilful means, not to formulate a new ego structure around. Thought Is often disembodied, and hence out of true nature. An escape from embodied embedded reality. Stay in the body, it’s the portal to spontaneous expression of true nature.

Reflections on surface mind, true nature, source nature.

Transmission is not one way. Learning occurs in dialectic. And, it’s the bond that’s the teaching. More than the content itself. The frequency of the energetic connection.

The joy of eating out after 15 months of pandemic. Generosity and being touched by service. Returning to the Dao, the deeper part, over the anxious scattered surface personality.

The joy of spending extended periods with elements, away from humans. And how it is transformative to the psyche and the sense of self.

Pain as the healer. Experience of learning from long deep pain
